“They can leave whenever they want to,” Mrs. Xu said, pressing her brow. “Did you say that Bai Lian is really at Boyuan Base?”
The butler nodded, “Yes, I’ve heard she’s very good at math.”
“That’s unexpected,” Mrs. Xu nodded, “No wonder… Xu En has always wanted to acknowledge her as part of the family. It would be good to acknowledge her, but…”
Mrs. Xu glanced at the butler, “Zhiyue was raised by me since she was little, even if Bai Lian comes back, her treatment can’t be better than Zhiyue’s.”
She knew that Xu En had kept a room for Bai Lian.
“Rest assured,” the butler bowed his head, “Who doesn’t know that Miss Zhiyue was nurtured by you. Although Bai Lian’s grades are good, they aren’t higher than Miss Zhiyue’s.”
The airport.
Mr. Qi and Qi Shuyun were also waiting early at the entrance.
“Mrs. Xu, Mr. Xu,” Mr. Qi said with a smile as he approached them, “Wenyao, we finally got to see you, Mr. Ji, hello.”
Mr. Qi was wearing gold-rimmed glasses and shook hands with Ji Heng, his gaze discreetly moving over Ji Heng, Ji Shaojun, and Shen Qing. Shen Qing dared not meet his eyes and sheepishly retreated behind Ji Shaojun.
After the incident with the Chen Family yesterday, the Qi Family visited the Xu Family that very afternoon.
In Jiangjing, who doesn’t know how to judge the winds of change?
The district mayor Shen, the Chen Family, either of them was someone the Qi Family couldn’t afford to tread upon.
After shaking hands with Ji Heng, Mr. Qi couldn’t understand why, even though Ji Heng looked stable. He didn’t seem like someone from the Chen Family’s circle. What was the reason?
Qi Shuyun was wearing a black coat and knee-high boots. Her sunglasses were clipped to her lapel. She glanced at Xu Wenyao, then turned her head away.
The Qi Family regretted it in their hearts. The original ticket was a good opportunity to get closer to the Xu Family, but it ended up becoming a grudge between the two families.
“Shuyun, don’t be temperamental,” Mr. Qi thought, looking at Qi Shuyun with a warning glance.
Qi Shuyun then looked up and greeted everyone from the Ji Family.

Bai Lian, along with Ning Xiao and Tang Ming, waited for Ji Heng at the security checkpoint.
“Look, Alian is over there.” Xu En spotted Bai Lian from afar.
He introduced her to Mr. Qi.
Mr. Qi was also seeing Bai Lian for the first time. Both he and Qi Shuyun involuntarily looked in her direction.
Because she was going to Xiangcheng, Bai Lian was wearing the golden silk horseface dress she wore for the speech that day. Standing at the security checkpoint, her hair lazily entwined with a wooden hairpin, her eyes and brows holding a defiant pride, she truly embodied the vigor of youth.
The white Bluetooth earpiece in her ear was a bit conspicuous, though.
She’s very pretty. Qi Shuyun glanced over: “That’s her, huh.”
Mr. Qi stood at the back of the crowd. With the pride of a scholar, he didn’t interact much with the other members of the Ji Family, but he could tell that the aura emanating from Bai Lian was indeed unique. He lowered his head and asked Mrs. Xu, “Is this the ‘Miss Bai’ they were talking about?”
Mrs. Xu nodded almost imperceptibly.
“Just her alone?” Mr. Qi looked up again, scanning around Bai Lian, not seeing anyone like Director Chen.
“Don’t know, has he not arrived yet?” Mrs. Xu was also surprised; she had expected Director Chen to come see Bai Lian off, but there was no sign of him here.
Xu En, however, didn’t think as much as the two.
He quickened his pace to the front, “Alian, good morning, have you eaten yet?”
In his hands, he carried Ji Heng’s package and pushed Jiang He’s big box of cabbage.
“We’ll eat later.” Bai Lian said while reading. She looked up at Xu En.
Her gaze swept past the line of people from the Xu and Qi Families, and in the end, she only nodded slightly to Xu Wenyao.
Bai Lian didn’t mask her dislike for someone at all. Mrs. Xu had never seen someone so brazen and reckless; her smile was somewhat strained.

“You two know where it is, take my grandfather and the others to rest first,” Bai Lian said nonchalantly, turning her head to speak to Ning Xiao and Tang Ming.
Both had flown in on Young Master Jiang’s plane before. Although they had only walked through the airport once and the routes were complicated, for Ning Xiao, who had the library memory method, it was no trouble.
Tang Ming went to take the things from Shen Qing and Xu En’s hands.
When he saw Jiang He’s box, he paused for a moment, thinking that this box should probably be left to the cool guy Ning Xiao.
The package from Ji Heng was taken by Tang Ming. Ning Xiao looked at the cabbage box Tang Ming left behind: “…”
Jiang He looked up blankly at Ning Xiao and blinked slowly.
Ning Xiao: “…”
He silently picked up the box and headed to security.
Ji Shaojun, who had intended to switch boxes with Ning Xiao, silently withdrew his hand.
“Aren’t you going?” Xu En watched them go through security, then turned to look at Bai Lian, who was still standing there.
Bai Lian leisurely scrolled through her reading. When she encountered a new word, she would stop and tap to view the definition: “No, I’m waiting for someone. He’s coming to see me off.”
